Install Plesk Billing standalone on win2008

There are steps that allow to install Plesk Billing standalone on win2008 server with installed on it Plesk 9.X.X

1.Create site via Plesk admin interface
Home>Domains ->Create domain ->
with enabled PHP support ->Version 5.x ->run as CGI Application
with enabled "Use dedicated pool" option
the rest parameters for own consideration
2.Make sure that is installed Zend or Ioncube support
check
C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini file
for zend_extension_ts
for example I have installed Ioncube dll to C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\ext\ so in php.ini should be at the beginning
zend_extension_ts= "C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\ext\ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll"
3.Download PleskBilling installation archive http://www.parallels.com/download/plesk/billing/
and extract Plesk Billing to home folder of created site
how example
C:\inetpub\vhosts\pppbs.com\httpdocs
4.Login to Plesk admin CP interface,
Go to Home>Database Servers> Local MySQL server ->WebAdmin
create for pleskbilling mysql user and database via phpmyadmin (with privileges according to installation guide http://download.ppb.parallels.com/6.0/doc/parallels-plesk-billing-6.0-for-windows-installation-guide/index.htm)
5.Start installation of Plesk Billing by usinghttp://download.ppb.parallels.com/6.0/doc/parallels-plesk-billing-6.0-for-windows-installation-guide/index.htm
Latest step - creating of database , so it can fail due to timeout reason, for this please increase values of
default_socket_timeout and mysql.connect_timeout in C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini
After installation Plesk Billing database can have 214 tables with ~4,601 records.

Anonymous account name you may find in properties of PleskBilling site ->Feature View-> Authentication->Anonymous authentication ->Edit , via IIS Managenment, if will be problems with NTFS permissions this account you may add to the TEMP directory with modify permissions
